High-temperature storage tanks at 160 °C ensure heat supply at night
The solar process heating plant was built in 2023 by Azteq/Solarlite, is operated by ENGIE Spain and supplies heat to the Heineken Sevilla brewery. In addition to the parabolic trough solar area of 43,000 m² (30 MW thermal output), high-temperature storage tanks (8 x 200 m³) ensure a high solar share of 60-70%.

Combination of Methods used by TCP-Activities
A set of methods was developed to categorize the kind of project work that is done in the activities. The figure shows which methods are applied how often in total (node size), and which methods were frequently applied together (edge width) by activities. The color corresponds to the different method cate-gories described in chapter.
